Ok, this is the second page of concept artwork for my new US Army themed Imperial Guard project. On this page I worked out the details of the armor and decided to make the armor have a MOLLE system for putting ammo pouches on.

The way that this would work is really simple and along the same lines as the fake picatanny rail systems on the weapons. Basically the pouches have slots on the back the same size and spacing as the strips of fake MOLLE loops onto which the pouches are glued. If I can pull it off the effect will be awesome visually as well as fully and easily customizable!

I've also decided to design an auto-pistol for the regiment as it seemed both in character and I was having a really hard time coming up with a cool laspistol deisgn. As for an actual Close Combat Weapon swords just don't fit with anything based off of the modern US Military, but we do love our knives. Thus has been born the chain-knife, which I intend to make multiple wielding arms for to increase variety. As the notes on the page suggest the stances used will be largely copied from the Metal Gear Solid series as they make pistol/knife fighting look damned cool!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I'm putting the same weird L shaped thing on the back of the armor to make any backpacks fully compatible with the Cadian plastics.

Your thoughts?
